At the end of October, Homeplus had another German brand for 1000 won/500 ml can. I don't remember the brand, but it was in a yellow can with a coat-of-arms type logo.

It was decent beer, and its availability coincided with a dinner party I was hosting. It was well enjoyed.

I've not seen these Homeplus German-made beers you speak of, but I have tried the L brand ones. I buy them fairly often. I'm just not sure if I should trust them. There's just something sketchy about (even a generic brand) beer imported from an advanced economy like Germany, tasting better than the domestic beer here, and able to beat them on price as well. I feel like I'm missing something.

There are quite a few cheap 'German' looking beers that are actually made by Lotte and other Korean companies and brewed in Korea. So extra care needed. I was disappointed to see that. More of a red wine man myself. In Lotte Mart, you can pick up Tanupa Carmenere from Chile for 7500 won. Nice. Amazed at the ridiculous price that some wine is priced at here. Unreal.

The ones that I had were product of Germany, and the Korean labels were added to a multi-lingual packaging.

These beers say 'Made in Germany' right on them. Hear, hear for cheap wine, Herr Stepz! but I trust some of them just about as much as I do these 'German' beers.

I figured out a tricky way to help motivate me to keep my apartment (relatively) clean: Host movie nights!

In related news, I really gotta clean my apartment tonight

UGH I KNOW HAHA I sometimes get friends who ask me kind of last minute (the day before) if they can stay at my place and I'm simultaneously glad and panic-stricken. I need it to happen more often though so that my place will actually stay clean.

I have to make that age old decision today, to leave/renew/transfer, and while my 3-way pro/con list is a cluster-**** of delights and terrors, the prospect of being in the position to have people crash at mine, has me leaning towards a transfer. A.k.a. to somewhere near my friends, where I can host dinner parties, and movie nights, and Cards Against Humanity arguments over hot toddies.

How else am I going to have the motivation to keep my apartment clean, and what else am I supposed to do with all these duvets, if not to burrito my tired and drunk friends in anticipation for tomorrow morning's coconut waffles?
